ASHLYN It was supposed to be a vacation. Five whole days on the beach with my best friend before we made the move from Seattle to New York. I never expected to meet a man who would make me change the way I saw love and sex. I’ve always believed you can have one without the other. So, when I hooked up with a one-night stand while on vacation, I never expected him to be standing in the middle of my hotel room hours later. Proclaiming to be my best friend’s brother. RYDER I’m married to my job. I’m twenty-nine and help run a fortune 500 company. I hadn’t seen my sister in four years, and I wanted to surprise her. What better way than on her vacation? What I ended up getting was a woman who knew exactly what she wanted. And for that one night, I was it. I knew that I wanted more. You don’t spend a night with someone like her and let her walk away that easily. It took me two seconds to decide I wanted him for one night. It took me a day to understand that he was gonna want more. I’ve always had the means to buy anything I want. Too bad, she is priceless. I’ve always believed in love. But I’m selfish. I want more … But can he give it to me? Or when this gets hard, does he walk away?
Sexy, amusing and irresistible, Selfish is the perfect romance novel. Shantel Tessier is always a must-read author for me and this book had something really interesting in the blurb that catch my attention. A feisty and strong heroine and a sexy dominant hero brings a lot of steamy action in this story. Ashlyn is going on vacation with her best friend in Florida, where she has a one night stand with a sexy stranger named Ryder. The next morning, surprise!! He’s her friend’s big brother and his one night with her wasn’t enough. After this little trip, she moves across the country in New York for work and is now living in the same building as him. Let’s just say that Ryder can’t let Ashlyn go like that and he makes his intentions clear. Ashlyn is sassy and I loved her personality. She isn’t accustomed to have sex with feelings so their new sexual relationship transforming into more is a little too much for her to deal with. Ryder is so understanding, but he’ll do anything to make her realize that what they have is more. The sexy scenes are really intense and scorching. They have a certain magnetism and you feel everything between them. The emotions really translate easily to the reader. These new heroes are enthralling and Shantel Tessier captured their essences perfectly. I was surprise to see that the book isn’t a standalone with this cliffhanger at the end. I hope the see the completion of Ashlyn and Ryder’s story very soon. **ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review**
